Seminar open to the public on April 18th from 2PM-4PM at Greenwich Library
Darien, CT, April 1, 2009-Mackey & Guasco Staffing Associates LLC, Fairfield County’s leading employment agency, will host its first in a series of seminars to help job seekers land a job in this economic downturn. The event will be held from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, April 18th, at the Greenwich Library.
Attendees will have a chance to meet with the agency’s founders, Maureen Mackey and Luisa ‘Lu’ Guasco, who will evaluate résumés and share their knowledge that spans more than 20 years in the recruiting field. In addition, forty-five minutes will be set aside for those in attendance to network with other professionals.
Mackey and Guasco will talk about what today’s employers are REALLY looking for and what you have to do to “make the cut!”
“You will walk away with a new found attitude towards your job search,” said Mackey. “Believe it or not companies are hiring and it just takes a little more effort on your part to land that perfect job.”
The seminar will cover such helpful tips as:
-Don’t count on job boards. Some career advisors have referred to these sites as “résumé black holes.”
-Tap your network. Make sure you’re on the radar of people who have access to the kinds of jobs you need. Make sure you are using social networks such as Linked In.
-Promote your brand. Now is not the time to be shy. Establish yourself as an expert in your industry.
“Promoting your brand could be as simple as volunteering for a community project or blogging,” said Guasco. “You could also write a column for a trade journal or create a website. The idea is to build credibility.”
